Complementary Activities (CA) refers to activities carried out outside the core curriculum, during the period in which the student is regularly enrolled in one of FCI’s programs, and that contribute to the deepening of academic training. The Completion of Complementary Activities is one of the requirements for graduation.
The purpose of these activities is to broaden the student’s professional and personal development, allowing for greater convergence between theory and practice. In 2009, FCI incorporated AC into its Pedagogical Project and has since maintained a coordination team available for inquiries via email at fci.atividadecomplementar@mackenzie.br for Higienópolis enrolled students, and fci.atividadecomplementar.alpha@mackenzie.br for Alphaville students, or for collaboration through the Moodle platform FCI-AC.
Examples of valid ACs are:
- Elective course at UPM;
- Proficiency exam or course abroad;
- Academic tutoring;
- Participation in scientific congress;
- Scientific research;
- Participation in research projects;
- Collaboration in FCI research labs;
